105th Regiment of Foot (Madras Light Infantry)

The 105th Regiment of Foot (Madras Light Infantry) was a British Army infantry regiment that existed from 1862 to 1881. It was formed as part of the reforms implemented following the Indian Mutiny of 1857, when the European regiments of the East India Company's armies were integrated into the British Army.

Specifically, the 105th Regiment of Foot was created from the 2nd European Light Infantry Regiment, which had been a component of the Madras Army, one of the three presidencies' armies maintained by the East India Company. Upon transfer to the British Army, these regiments were renumbered.

The regiment served primarily in India during its existence. In 1881, as part of the Childers Reforms, designed to link infantry regiments with specific county affiliations for recruitment and identity purposes, the 105th Regiment of Foot was amalgamated with the 51st (2nd Yorkshire West Riding) Regiment of Foot to form the 1st Battalion, The King's Own Light Infantry (South Yorkshire Regiment). Therefore, the lineage and traditions of the 105th were incorporated into this new regiment.
